"Not even a typewriter is safe"

...and I was just about to point out that even "electric" typewriters like the Selectric (which only uses electricity to mechanically drive the machine, not to process data) can be safe - well, so much for that. Granted, they couldn't subvert what wasn't there so they had to build in a foreign piece of high technology to do the snooping, but yeah, point taken (whiffletrees are still rather cool mechanisms though). Thanks for the education and a thoroughly fascinating read for a Sunday afternoon...
